Meet Our Staff- Karen Stanley

Published October 26, 2021
Hello!  I’m Karen Stanley.  I’m the Wee Care director at First Baptist Church of LaPlace.  God called me to this role in April of 2021.  Before the director, I was a 2 year old teacher at Wee Care for 3 years.

 

I am married to Matt Stanley and we have a little girl, Reagan.  She is 4 years old and attends Wee Care in the three year program.  At home, we are covered with love from our 11 year old boxer, Deuce.  I have been a resident of LaPlace since I was 5 years old and am a Riverside Academy alumni.  Most people know my maiden name, Cortez.  My parents are Patty and Eddie and they have 3 other children besides me.

 

My love for children started growing when I would volunteer in the church nursery program.  From then on, I would volunteer in VBS, choose children related programs when we would go to youth camp and babysit children in the church as much as possible.

 

I have known my whole life that I would be surrounded by children.  Little did I know God’s plan of leading me to be the director of the preschool at my home church.  This my dream job and I look forward to leading our kids toward Christ everyday.

 

I would love to sit and talk with you about your family and children over coffee.  You can reach me by email, weecare@lpfbc.org or phone, 985-652-4096.  I look forward to our sit down!

 

With Christ Love,

 

Karen
